St. Joseph High School junior Brendon Sparkman has been selected to attend American Legion's Texas Boys State in June. He will have the opportunity to learn about government, civics and patriotism in a learn-by-doing environment. The one-week program will take place at the University of Texas at Austin and will culminate when delegates get to be seated in the chambers of the Texas Capitol to craft, debate and vote on mock legislation.
